Today I had to get some faculty signatures because I’m pledging a business fraternity on campus. I guess just something to do to prove you want to be in this organization. Most faculty members were really nice and welcoming, but one stood out. He was an older man who happens to be the chair of the business department or something like that. I’m not positive of his title, but I know he...

Normally I just use Tumblr to record quotes, recipes, or pictures that I find and want to keep, and then also to stalk my sisters. But right now I feel like being insightful and I want to get it recorded before I lose it.
One thing about me that I’ve noticed lately is that when I hear of a friend of mine getting engaged, someone still in college planning their wedding, or one of those newly...

Sitting in Evanston, Wyoming on my way with my mom and sister to California to go on a nice little four day cruise with family that I haven’t seen in a long time. We drove twelve hours today and it was surprisingly nice. I didn’t kill my mom and I got to sleep a lot and read some too. Coolest part? I just typed this post on my new I touch. Love it!

Sista
I am only following one person on tumblr. As far as I even know, my tumblr is hidden so not even that person can see my thoughts. Hers are quite interesting. I read it religiously because it’s a nice although distant replacement of the hour long conversations we’d hold over g-mail while at work. She’s coming home this weekend, and I can’t wait. My best friend I...
I just want to know that the end is in sight. that there is a promise of a happier day. that someday I’ll sleep soundly. that I’ll go an entire day without crying.
I CAN do this on my own. I WILL do this on my own. I AM strong enough. I AM worth it.

Lawrence
I just spent the weekend in Lawrence. I miss it, I want to be back there. I went down with Tane’s family because his little brother had a basketball tournament there. We stayed the whole weekend with his friends. I was kind of nervous about that at first because they’re all dudes, and I wasn’t sure how I’d fit in. Turns out I had a great time, his friends were very nice, I...
Relax
Sometimes I get so caught up in what I have going on that I forget to look at outside myself. So what if what if one of my “friends” is being an ass, we all might get kicked out of our apartment, and PRM will never rent to me again. LIFE GOES ON. What made me realize this you ask? I read my sister’s last few entries on here. She’s teaching kids who have already failed an...

Fear
Fear. Something I’ve been thinking about a lot lately. I’ve always heard that you will become what you fear. Lately I have seen that saying come to reality. I’ve seen the fear of living with less than desired in my father, and I have seen that reality in him my whole life. I’ve seen the fear of being alone in one of my best friends, and I’ve seen her crash and...

New
I’m trying something new. I have a lot to say and probably not enough people to listen to it all. So here it is, and you get to take it in whether you like it or not.
Eat that.
